Secretary of WarRobert P. Patterson: "In peace and war, General Daniel I. Sultan typified all the admirable qualities of thesoldier. General Sultan's eventful career covered 44 busy years and took him all over the world. He will be best remembered for the steady guidance he gave to our operations in the India-Burma Theater in the closing year of the war. This included the completion of the Stilwell Road, mopping up of the Japanese in Burma and the tremendous achievement of supplying the China Theater. Before that General Sultan was an eminent figure in Asia where he had served with marked distinction as theater Chief of Staff prior to assumption of Command. With his passing the Army has lost one of its most capable officers and every soldier has lost a warm friend".

General of the ArmyDwight D. Eisenhower: "In the death of General Sultan the Army has lost one of its most capable and brilliant officers. In nearly 44 years of active military service, General
Sultan filled a wide variety of highly important assignments in Europe, Latin America and the Far
East, in each case with marked distinction. His more recent achievements included command of our successful combat operations in Burma and the establishment of adequate supply and communication facilities in that difficult area. My friendship with General Sultan began at the Military Academy where he was on the staff while I was a cadet. I have always regarded him with the greatest admiration and affection".
